The above pictures were taken before I swapped out the stock shocks and springs.  The front is now supported by Cobra R springs and the rear by Ebach 425 lb springs on Ground Control weight jackers.  The rear suspension has been replaced with a Griggs torque arm and panhard rod providing much more bite in both a straight line as well as more control in the corners.   I've got Tokico 5 way adjustable shocks on all 4 corners.  When we did the Griggs install we also went with the TA cover on the rear end and rebuilt the trac-loc with twice the number of clutches as the stock unit for a reliable rear end that delivers the maximum available power to both wheels, it can't be beat.

Here's how it looks now!

Other additions:

- CC plates to keep the front end alignment where it should be.


- Pro 5.0 shifter to prevent the forks in the T45 transmission from bending.  It's been there as long as I've had the car.

- High performance brake pads in the rear to help balance the braking.  The stock brakes are very good but the front would lock before the rear had gotten a good bite, by upgrading the rear pads I've achieved a balance that predictably out performs the stock set up.

- SSR Integral Wheels wearing Yokohama Nexus tires take care of the rest.
